Chicago, Feb. 3-The signal service
bureau here reports Q cold wave coming
from the west. The Temperature will
fall 20 degrees during the day hero and
throughout the west.
A genuine blizzard is raging through.
out the northwest and coming east with
wonderful rapidity. Il is 80 degrees
below Zero Of Fort Assinaboine and 80

are some OF this mornings temperatures:

Huron, Feb. 3--Ihe weather yester-
day and last pight was the most disa-
greeable experienced here for years, the
velocity OF the wind being twenty-five
miles al hour from the northwest, plling
the snow in high drifts. Trains were all
suspended and no mails we're sent ont
yesterday. The wind ceased during the
night and at 8 O'clock this mornieg the
mercury marked 90 below. Trains were
sent out on various lines to-day, but
none except from She weat arrived, but
will be through tomorrow.
No reports OF suffering by settlers on
the prRirIes have been receiyed, but il
will be surpgising il sill have escaped
the severity OF the past thirty-six houss
Fortunately plenty Of fuel can be had
at all stations west and north, where
the storm is reported more severe thar
here and farther east.

Novel military propositisn.

Af-
st. Louis aIobe.D Democrat, 81: A
unique scheme in coast Notifications is
beard Of in England. The cannons are to
be placed in holes or trenches something
like rifs pits. They are loaded below
the surface of the ground, and raised
when about to be hred. The raising,
training OF the gun and firing is done by
electricity, man, who oan be three
miles away from the cannon,if necessary
doing all these things. The men who
load the gnn are protected by covered
ways. In this system nothing will be
exposed to the fire Of y hostile feet and
no damage can be done to either gun or
gunners unless q shot or she'll is dropped
down almost vertically. The scheme
seems to make ample provision for the
safety Of the man, and it also has the
merit OF simplicity and comparative
cheapness. Whether or not il would be
destructive to an enemy can be deter
mined BY actual experiment only. The
system deserves investigation, now that
there r some prospects OF . war over
the fishery question.

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.

IntimRtiOns that the Reduction Bin
VIII Soon be- Called mp.
Washington, Feb. 2-The house COM
mittee on Indian affairs will soon Gail
up the bill to open TO settlement the
Sioux reservation. containing about III
000,0 QUO acres Of good farming lands.
The Indians are more than willing to
have it done, and the bill 10 likely to
become o law unless the opponents of
one clause gain q stronger following
than Is now thought possible. This
clause, the only serions controversy,
relates to the contracts entered into
between the sioux Indians. on the one
part and the Milwaukee and ST. Paul
and the Northwestern railroad on the
iother. Years ago it was stipulated BY
should have the right of way through
the reservation, the roadway to DO 900
Zee. ride :ss ssss.yy1@ ssse:.
acres were to be sold for depot or sta
tion purposes, and each was to have q
section OF land on the west
bank OF the Missouri river
opposite Pierre and Chamberlain,
u, q, For this the road agreed to pay
$6 an acre. This agreement or contract
was OF the time approved by the secre-
tary Of the interior, but 1t WAS found
that was not sufficient, and that legisla-
tion Is necessary. Several attempts to
pasS it proved frultless, and now the
agreements 10 before congress- as q clause
OF the aforementioned bill, In the
committee this clause was fought by La
Toilet, who thought the two roads
should have only 100 fest OF road-bed
and a tract OF 200 by 5000 for every
station. Finally Senator Dawes, who
had managed the bill In the senate, went
to La Toilette and told him that he was
certain the Indians would not give tkeir
assent TO the bill as required. unless
their agreement With the railroads was
ratified by congress. He explained that
the bill gives the Indians bnt 81 cents
per acre for all the lands
taken, up under it. and that,
of c~ourse,the land for the railroads
would only bring them the same price
while il the clause is retained they will
get IS per acre, from the roads for oil
the lands these take. The Indians loph
at this difference as o great thing, and
at the refusal to CRAFTY their agreement
with the roads as q plan to rob them
and would surely not agree to the bill
thus defeating the opening of the reser-
walton to settlers.
LaFollette yielded TO the argument
but nov Wcllborn, chairman Of the com
mlttee, declares that ne will nov &c
strike out the clause, or to amend it BY
giving the railroads only che above men
tionea roadbed OF 100 feet, etc. The pso
pie OF Pierre and Chamberlain Oppose
this clause because they fear that th,
reads will nse the two sections: the,
would get under 1t to build mp . new
city opposite theirs. Nelson and Strait
of Minnesota, are earnestly fasoring th
bill with the contested clause.

CHRISTINE NILSSON.
The picture here given is copied from what
Is said to be the most beautiful portrait Of the
singer ever made. 1t is from a crayon done
by Vuiller, a Partisan artist.
Nilsson is now in the prime and glory of her
fame as well as her beauty. She is 43 years
old, and far handsonler than she was as a
girl. She was the daughter of a poor Swed-
tsh peasant, who lived with his wife and seven
children in a hut of two rooms. When Chris
tine was Q years old she went barefoot with
her little brother to the town fair to sing and
earn q few pennies from people attending the
fair. The small girl accompanied herself on
the violin while she sang. Among the listen
ers was the town judge, Mr.. Tornerhjeine.
He perceived at once the marvellous voice.
He hunted out her parents, and got their per-
mission to send the child to Paris to be edu-
Gated. She is the idol of the Parisians, and is
altogether n Frenchwoman in her sympathies.
Her home is a magnificent one at South Ken
singtop, London.
